Noroton Presbyterian Nursery School
O
ur month of November
finished up with many
exciting activities. The children
collected over 100 bags of food
for Person-to-Person. The items
were delivered by the 4’s and
Pre-K classes in a parade from
the nursery school to the Person
to Person Food Pantry. The students
were able to deliver food items personally and see
how the Food Pantry is used to help families in need.
They were so concerned that there were families that
didn’t have the amount of food they needed. They also
recognized how grateful they were for their own homes
full of food. The students celebrated Thanksgiving with a
Feast of Thankfulness. They focused on what they were
each thankful for and shared that with their classes. The
students continued a long time tradition at NPNS, by
making Cranberry Relish for their families.
December is a short month at the nursery school, but
full of activities. The children dove right into preparations
to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. They looked forward
to Miss Mickie’s visit, to each classroom, where she
shared the Advent Story. The children read about and
acted out the story of Jesus’ birth, using costumes from
the Advent costume boxes. Our Pre-K students visited
the Senior Center where they sang Christmas Songs and
ate cookies with the Seniors. The students continued
their love of caring for others by collecting mittens,
gloves, hats and socks for our Mitten Tree. These items
were taken to Person-to-Person, following our annual
Family Christmas Chapel. We cherish this time of focus
on the gift of Jesus Christ and the joy of sharing it with
our students.
We wish you all a blessed Christmas season.
God Bless You,
